OIL-BURNER.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LOUIS H. SCHEIBE- ii/IANTEL, a citizen of the United States, residing at l/Vinona, in the county of llVinona and State of Minnesota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Oil- Burners, of which the following is a specification.

The invention provides a burner designed most especially for utilizing oil, such as kerosene or distillate as fuel, Vthe burner being of such formation as to insure a practically perfect combustion, thereby preventfree carbon and the de posit of soot upon parts of the stove or other structure wi h which the burner is associated. Y f

A further purpose of the invention is the rovision of a burner of the character hereinbefore stated which may be readily in-v stalled in the hre boxV of a cook stove or range,or in the fire pot of a heater orlike structure, said burner being readily adjust,- able ltoV admit of thedirection of the lflame being adjusted to` meet varying conditions which may arise in the installation or use of f the burner.

A further purpose of the invention is the provision ofa burner which may be quickly and economically constructed without requiring .special castings or fittings,. such Y burner being simple in the arrangement of will utilize oil and prevent the residue which would ordinarily render a` itsparts and effective in operation and which formation of burner of this type unfitted for further effective service without requiring the parts to be dism'embered and cleaned.

VWith these and other objects` in view,

which'will readily appear as the nature ofk theinvention is'better understood, the same consists in the improved construction and novel arrangement and combination of parts which will be hereinafter fullyY described and particularly claimed.

In the accompanying drawings has been illustrated a simple and preferred form of Y the invention, it being, however, understood that no limitation is necessarily made to the Vbut* that changes,

details therein exhibited, alterations and modificationswithin the scope ofthe invention as claimed may be resorted to when desired.

a perspective yview of a burner embodying the invention showing the same applied to a cook stove or range; Fig'. 2 is a transverse section of the burner and stove; Fig. 3 is a front view of the burner; Fig. A is a perspective view of the burner.

Corresponding and like parts are referred to in the following description and indicated' in all the views of the drawings, by the same reference characters.

- The burner comprises a 'plurality of burner membersA, B and C, the members A and'B being of similar or like formation and the member() comprising a number of burner elements D and E of similar or like structure. The burner members A and B are chiefly intended for the fire box of a cook stove or range or the fire pot of a heater or like structure. The burner member C, including the elements D and E, is designed most especially for the oven of a cook stoveror range, as indicated most clearly in Figs. 1 and 2 of the accompanyingdrawin'gs.V A supply pipe a is connected with the burner member A and directs .the fuel thereto. A supply pipe b has connection with the burner member 'B and serves to lead the fuel thereto. A supply pipe c is provided for furnishing the fuel to the burner member C. Each of the supply pipes provided with a needleV valve for controlling the iowrof the fuel. The needle valves are indicated at l, 2 and 3 and are associated with the respective supply pipes a, b and o. A header l has the several pipes 1,19 and c connected thereto, the connections including the several needle valves. A pipe v point. It is'to be understood that the sev-v the header 4 and the consuch header and needle the stoveJ or eral needlev valves, nections between valves are located exterior to like structure.

i Inasmuch as the burner members A and B are of similar or like formation a. detailed description of one will suffice for a clear understanding thereof.k Each of the burner members A and B comprises ahorizontal tube 6, vertical members 7 and Sdepending from opposite ends of the tube 6, a lower horizontal member 9 and a burner tip 10.

yLongitudinal tubes 11 and 12are disposed -upon opposite sides of the vertical members or' tubes 7 and 8 and are connected"4 at one f end vby means of a transverse tube 13 andV by elbows 22. An elbow 23 Vconnects'the vertical tube 15 of the burner member B vwith the supply pipe b. The tube 15 vof the burner member -A is connected with the` supplyy pipe a by means` of elbows 24 and 25 and 'a nipple 26. The burner tip 10 is disl posed centrally beneath thev horizontal tube 6 and the latter is arranged in the zone of the heat or flame from the burner tip, thereby admitting of the conversion of the liquid fuel thereto into vapor. A de flector 27 j is disposed above the burner t-iprlO and -is attached to the horizontal tube 6. `The deflector 2 7 may be of any construction and its purpose is to spread the flame thereby bringing the several tubes of the burner member within the heating zone of the flame so'as'to supplement the action of the tube 6 ingen-V vapor to be burned at the erating gas or converting the liquid fuel into outlet of thetip 10. The several elements are connected by screw thread joints and asa-result the parts VYmay be `readily assembled and the burner as f vburner tip 1() may be inclined in adirectionV Aat a right angle to the adjustment resultingv from turning the street L 18 about the' tube aV whole adapted to the stove, heater or like structure to which it is to be fitted. The streetV l.. 13yadmits of inclining the burner tip 10 tothe right or to the left so as to direct the flame in the requiredY direction. The street L 19 admits of inclining thetube l6 to the horizontal with the result kthat the 9. rlhe street L 16 admits of leveling the burner member. f 1 f Y The burner member C comprises a- T `fitting 28,'nipples 29, street Ls 30, T fittings 31, street Ls 32v at opposite'ends ofthe fittings 31 and burner'tips 33, the latter being -connected to the street Lsby means of nipples 34.' The burner member lC isl connected'to the supply pipe c by means yof`a nipple 35,

' a street L 36 and an elbow 37. The lstreet L V36'admits ofthe burner member C being leveled and'such burner member may be raised for lowered by turning the elbow 37 about vthe supply pipe-c. The burner elements D and E are of substantially` U-shap'e, ea'eh comprising the .-ttings 531, 32, 33 -and means of aV each 'of the burner 34.n c The street vLs 32 may be-turned in the T fittings 3l so as to incline the burner tips 33 to give proper direction to the flame. Y

As indicated most clearlyginFigs 1 and 2, a cook stove or range having a burner constructed'in accordance with Vthe invention installed therein has the burner members A and B disposed within the fire-box and the burner members D and E arranged* inthe space formed between the top Yof the stove and the` top of the oven lso as to direct the flame into such space in `a `manner to insure its .positive circulation aroundv the oven. A drip pan v3S is associated with members A and Band is preferably suspended` from the element 9l and is adapted to receive the fuel escaping from the outlet after the 'needle valve has been opened. l/Vhen starting'the burner the needle valve l or 2 is opened according to which one of the'burner members A or B is to be lighted. If both burner members are'to be vlighted both'of the needle valves 1 and v2 are to be opened; The 'oil escaping from the burner tips 10 drips into the pan,'or pans 33` and is vignited and after' burning for a. vshort ltime heats the elements ofl the burner members to such an extent 'as to vapori'zevthe oil passing therethrough, such vapor Vescaping at the outlets Vofthe members A and B is'suificient vto heat the burner elements -DV and E/so that such into service when required it not vbeing necL essary to prime such-'burner elements Las 1s necessaryrwhen starting vvtheburner members A and B, Vhen is open'ed the fuel passes to both burner elementsDand E. The burner membersA-'and 'burner elements be quickly VbroughtV ioo Athe needle; valvel 3 Bv may bek independently controlled since each has a separate controlling valve.

VIt is to berunderstoodV fromV the foregoing taken in connection withthe accompanying drawings that the burner is `of'such con-N struction as-to admit of the several burner members being independently adjusted to giveproper direction to the flameandY that the Vburner may be readily `installed and' adapted to varying conditions and location since the several tubular elements-maybe readily substituted by other tubularfele-` kments *orV nipples of differentlength.

f Having thus *described the'invention, what is claimed as new is f- L,

1. An oilV burner VV'comprising upper., and lower horizontal tubes, a verticaltube'con- 12ovr necting the horizontal tubes Vat one end, "aV
